Clean it! - You wouldn't dream of buying a dirty car, would you? Neither would your potential buyers. Clean both the inside and out - don't forget the boot. Check the oil! - A general maintenance check e.g. replacing oil and other fluids, tyre pressure, water, etc is invaluable when you are hoping to reach the asking price. Keep a record! - Record everything that you have done to the car, from

C
HEVROLET’S classic urban runabout, the tiny Matiz, has been popuiar in the UK since the
looks on the outside and still main tains its Tardis-like reputation by offering plenty of room for four occu pants on the inside. The entry-level S model, with its
0.8-litre engine, is the version w’e look at here and claims to offer value-for- money in a no-nonsense package. So, as other citycars get larger and more sophisticated, can this one still cut the mustard? In its old Daewoo guise, the Matiz proved to be an incredibly successful car, selling over 1.3 million units around the world. UK motorists spotted a bargain
pretty quickly and it soon became a favourite here, with over 65,000 being sold to date. More than 630,000 of them have been sold in Europe alone. Overall

bumper structure. The bonnet is domed high to ensure excellent pedestrian safety and the rear retains the high-mounted round lamps that
■featured on previous Matiz models. Overall the new styling gives the Matiz a much more upmarket look. The sides are still rather vertical,
with a high roofline and a wheel at each corner look tha t maximises internal space. Much of the expertise in building
a car like this is expressed in terms of its packaging. The “small on the outside but big
on the inside” ethos is what drives many of the design decisions and Chevrolet has done a very good job with the Matiz in this particular respect. Seating four adults in comfort with
excellent all round visibility was the starting point. Every other styling direction was subservient to that requirement, so
then, there is no doubt th a t the ■ unlike many other cars, on which the Matiz has created a niche for itself and become a force to be reckoned with m the European small car market. Quite a legacy then for
this second generation model to live up to. To keep customers satis
fied, Chevrolet has gone back to basics. Citycar buyers, i t says, are not interested in getting a big ger car: those who want that will buy a supermini. Nor are they generally up for startling performance. No, what interests them
company’s confidence in product development. The three-cylinder 0.8-Iitre engine
in this entry level model is never going to be that exciting to drive, but then most journeys will usually be short and executed in heavy traffic. Anyone contemplating driving any distance and on motorways should consider spending the additional £500 for the 1.0-litre model. The 0.8-litre. Matiz will reach a
top speed of 90 m.p.h. but do not try and race anything away from the lights as the standing start to 62 m.p.h. will take a very leisurely 18.2 seconds. Where this car really per forms is at the petrol pump, deliver ing over 54 rn.p.g on the combined cycle and emitting a miserly 127g/km of CC2. The citycar market has moved on
since the Matiz first launched in the ’90s and customers now are expect ing more refinement in their cars than they previously enjoyed. Chevrolet has recognised this and has fitted out this entry-level model pretty astutely.

advanced manufacturing processes have enabled Chevrolet to keep the price of this 0.8-litre S variant low at only £6.095 on-the-road. Plus there are a number of features
that will appeal to those looking for something other than a bog-standard tin box.
First shown at the 2004 Paris
Motor Show as the M3X Concept, this rar retains many of the first gen eration Matiz’s signature design cues.
The front end is a little more
mature, with bigger LED headlights and a more pronounced grille and
product development
occupants are forced to conform to the car, Chevrolet has set out with the philosophy that comfort and ease of entry are priorities. At 3.5 metres long and 1.5 metres
wide, the Matiz will fit easily into tighter parking spaces and will result in no grey hairs when negotiating urban width restrictions. It is also 1.5 metres high, so entry
with centrally-mounted instruments sitting atop the plane of the dash board and key indicators residing close to the driver’s line of sight. Body coloured detailing is a key theme, as is metallic bright work on many surfaces. The days of cheap black and grey plastics have long gone, marking the
assisted steering, remote central locking, engine immobiliser, ABS brakes, 60/40 split fold ing rear seat, rear wash/wipe and a CD player. Safety has also been
improved, with driver and passenger airbags as well as seat-belt pre tensioners all coming as standard. The body structure of the new Matiz now uses state-of- the-art light but strong steel to improve its per- formanceinacrash.
The Matiz 0.8-litre S is an inex
pensive car to run with low servicing and insurance costs. The price includes delivery, road
tax, a three j'ear comprehensive war ranty, three years’ AA roadside cover and three years’ free servicing, mak-. ing it one of the cheapest cars to run in the UK. ' Certainly,.for those on a budget.
and exit is easy and there sliould be the Matiz 6.8-litre S could represent few problems with headroom. The fascia is adventurously styled,
an irresistible package. As other citycars have grown in
size .with each new model, Chevrolet has bucked the trend by keeping the latest Matiz small on the outside, yet improving the space available inside the car. This, along with its modern cute
looks and practicality, should ensure that the Matiz remains one of thei, top selling citycars in the world.

MOTABILITY GETTING AROUND THAT BIT EASIER
The Motability scheme continues to be vital for disabled people wanting to affordably get out on the road Jonathan Crouch looks at the scheme and assesses the latest improvements
N o r no advance payment.
The Scheme has changed quite a bit in recent times, now offer ing a w id e r range o f models, a more comprehensive selection o f low advance payments and a
. pledge to eliminate the uncer ta in ty o f constantly changing
prices.The in tro d u c tio n o f a fixed three-monthly price list fo r Motability vehicles address es the latter point and will help c u s tom e rs choose their n ew cars knowing that advance pay men t prices won’t fluctu a te u n e x p e c t e d l y f rom one m o n th to th e n e x t. In fu tu re price lists w ill be
published and fixed every three months.
As fa r as th e w id e r range o f choice is concerned, there's been a 12% in c re a se In the n um b e r o f cars available at the ‘under £
2 5 0
advance pay m e n t’ p o in t and 5% more ch o ice In cars available with advance payments o f under £500.
There's also n ow a £200 cash bonus fo r users
w h o keep th e ir car in good order. M o to r is ts w h o make no loss, damage o r th ird p a r ty claims d u r ing their hire agreement, and w h o maintain the car in good c o n d itio n , w ill be eligible to receive the ‘Good C o ndition Bonus’.T h e new b e n efit has been introduced following the improved fa ir wear and te a r policy, which now sees around 90% o f customers passing their end o f contract inspection with no problems.
For many people, a Motability Scheme car means the chance to g et a job, go to college o r simply enjoy life to the full, a freedom th a t many o f us take fo r granted. Since it was set up as a registered charity in 1977, Mota b ility has provided over 1.5 million cars and powered
wheelchairs.The Scheme cur rently represents 6% of all new car sales in the UK.
Today, almost 400,000 disabled people and their families benefit from Motability. Here’s how it works:
Disabled people can use th e ir government-funded disability allowances to lease o r buy a car, powered wheelchair/scooter th ro u g h o n e o f th re e main schemes;
• A new ca r on a three-year contract hire lease.
• A new o r used ca r on hire purchase, over a term o f two to five years.
• A new o r used p ow e re d wheelchair,or scooter on hire, purchase, over a term o f one to three years.
By far the most popular scheme is the Co n tra ct Hire Scheme, which offers disabled people a brand new car o f th e ir choice, from a w id e - ra n g in g lis t o f approved manufacturers, on a th re e -ye a r
lease.AII mainte nance and servicing costs are included, to g e th e r w ith com p re h e ns ive in su ra n ce and breakdown assistance.

PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
FINANCIAL HELP
Motability also awards various grants to help those customers who need additional financial
help.These grants go towards a
range o f essential vehicle adap tations and conversions, extra payments towards a chosen car and to assist in the funding of driving lessons.
As well as administering gov ernment-funded grants, Mota b ility makes its own charitable grants. Notability’s fund-raising team exists to help meet this demand and raise money in a variety o f ways, with the help of individual supporters, corporate support and events, trusts and appeals and employee fund-rais ing initiatives.
